Well I'm a fifteen year old guy and i just had a question for all of you parents of teenagers out there. What is your view on teen sex? I have thought about trying it (sex) when I've been offered it before but I'm worried what my parents would say. I know that the ultimate decision is up to me, and it would seem kind of weird if I did something like that seeing as I am almost an Eagle Scout. So should I ask my parents if it is okay for me to have sex? I understand all of the risks and everything and I guess I would just like to try it to see if I like it. Please give an honest opinion. Thank you all very much.

So any advice on how to approach this subject with them would be greatly appreciated.

Even if they did it themselves, they generally feel it's their duty to discourage it. However, a cousin of my wife had her 16 year old daughter tell her recently that she and her boyfriend were going to start having sex regardless, so could she arrange for a prescription for the pill? When the question is put that way, she didn't have much choice. (Also, she liked her daughter's boyfriend.)I might have to deal with the question myself in the next few years.

'Don't ever do anything you'd be afraid to tell or talk to your parents about.' Just sit them down and talk to them about it, and ask them for their opinion on the subject, and I'm pretty sure they'll be understanding.

If your parents are strongly religious then they are likely to disapporove. And also I think 15 is a little young to be having sex...if you were sure about it, you wouldn't be asking here for reassurance would you?You have plenty more years ahead of you to be having sex, but if you are still unsure about your parents views, then maybe ask them? You could bring it up casually in a conversation, or ask them a question about sex.

They can protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy and disease but sometimes the emotional aspects of early sexual encounters can be rough as well. Yes, we have all been through it and I can remember being a teenager too with all the uncertainties and such but its very hard to communicate this to your kids, especially when it seems that the last person they want to talk to about this stuff is their parents! I guess thats why this 'site is such a good idea...

My mum said the same (but without the year bit!) she just said don't do anything stupid and wear a condom!
